I was going to let it drop but now I'm actually considering extending it.

I looked at my lyft spend for the past 6 months or so, and it's been saving me about $15/month on average. But travel seems to be picking way up, and I've been seeing some rides costing 2-3 times what they did pre-pandemic, and driver availability going down. So it might turn out to be a net win, at least for the summer travel season.

Allegedly pynk also gets you priority in getting rides, though in the past few months I've had a few times where it told me there were few drivers available and thew wait would be long. Sometimes it's long, sometimes not - has anybody dropped pynk yet and seen their wait time go up? It would be worth the $5/month if it saves on the wait on just a couple rides, but it's not obvious that that's actually happening.
